Do I need to smuggle the new camera?
Or just keep in nicely in the box and go thru...?

I'm driving thru 2nd-link / causeway...

Thanks!!!

It's best to just throw away the box and bring it over.

all photographic equipment are untaxable.
there is a thin line between photography and computer equipment there...
computers' stuffs are taxable

Dry box won't be taxed. I think the price in SG is very cheap. u may check the price at www.digihub.com.sg. If i'm not mistaken 30L cabinet only SGD99. They always have mid-year promotion. http://www.digihub.com.sg/Uploads/pdf/207a...48535500520.pdf

Don't worry too much.
Recently a JB fella just bought off my old E-330 with its kit lens and small bag.
Sayang that he threw away the box but otherwise he had no hassles.

You could also try to carefully unfold and flatten the box and put into your bag?

JB customs will very likely stop you if the see you carrying anything in seemingly new packaging or flashy shopping bag.
